I have the Clapton version, love the colors. I am biased by how little I paid. I love mine but I paid $30 USD shipped when they were on Amazon Prime.

Thanks gents! I'm just loving the body lines on this Ferrari!

I know the "Star" editions are more affordable, but I want RED which will continue with my theme.

Don't you already have the CMC version? Part of me wishes I got this model but should probably stay away from vintage.

No, I have this one. Don't think CMC made this one either, though I'm not authority on CMC or classic Ferraris :D

HW is the only one that makes the 250GT Lusso. The body is substantially different from the 250GT SWB (both Hot Wheels Elite & CMC made this one).

The Hot Wheels Elite is a nice model, though more along the lines of the decent 250LM than the excellent 250GT Californias. Like the LM, the Foundation model was made first & then the Elite was made by adding more detail. My main issue is that the Foundation uses the same size tires all around, which is how most 1:1 pictures look. For the Elite, they used larger rear tires.
